Perennials/Mysterious Moonflower Plant

My family all have moonflowers that we have passed around to special friends and have kept going from baby plant to baby plant for a couple generations. We have never seen one like it in any nurseries but it is just as Brenda describes. AND they are only yellow- a big beautiful bloom 1-1 1/2-2" across. We watch them open every night. Last night there were 31 in my daughter's flower bed. I think it is bi-annual. The first year plants have not quite so serrated leaves and the second year plant has more serrated leaves with a stem that looks like an old carrot.

It is a Stemless Evening Primrose (Oenothera triloba).
